Theorem 5. 9: Vocabulary Angle-Side Relationship #1 If one side of a triangle is

Theorem 5. 9: Vocabulary Angle-Side Relationship #1 If one side of a triangle is longer than another side, then the angle opposite the longer side has a greater measure than the side opposite the shorter side.

Theorem 5. 10: Vocabulary Angle-Side Relationship #2 If one angle of a triangle has

Theorem 5. 10: Vocabulary Angle-Side Relationship #2 If one angle of a triangle has greater measure than another angle, then the side opposite the greater angle is longer than the side opposite the lesser angle.

Example 4 Relationships Angle-Side HAIR ACCESSORIES Ebony is following directions for folding a handkerchief

Example 4 Relationships Angle-Side HAIR ACCESSORIES Ebony is following directions for folding a handkerchief to make a bandana for her hair. After she folds the handkerchief in half, the directions tell her to tie the two smaller angles of the triangle under hair. If she folds the handkerchief with the dimensions shown, which two ends should she tie? Answer: So, Ebony should tie the ends marked Y and Z.

Example 4 KITE ASSEMBLY Tanya is following directions for making a kite. She has

Example 4 KITE ASSEMBLY Tanya is following directions for making a kite. She has two congruent triangular pieces of fabric that need to be sewn together along their longest side. The directions say to begin sewing the two pieces of fabric together at their smallest angles. At which two angles should she begin sewing? A. A and D B. B and F C. C and E D. A and B
